Agree with the above.

Kouyate has to be there for me, as does Gallagher. Of the rest, I still love JMac unconditionally so happy for him to pop in there. I'm not entirely convinced there's any place for Schlupp there, seems like another failed attempt to put someone with multiple assets into a defined role. Seems he's a hexagonal peg for either a square or round hole. Hughes a more defensive option if needs be and Eze still not quite 100% for my eye.

It's been mentioned numerous times across several threads but I'd like to see midfield recruitment in the summer, with yet another year looking for a RB and CF. At keast it only took about 5 years to find a decent GK.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Were you going to insist on Eze being in there? You definitely inferred that didn't you What a shock!

I believe that the last time that Marsch & Viera met.
The American was the resounding winner.....

Guaita
Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell
Kouyate, McArthur
Gallagher
Zaha Matteta Eze

of course he is our best player

Don't agree at all.

Creativity is what we lack and you won't get it from Kouyate. Much prefer to have Hughes back as at least he can pass the ball.

But, if it is Gallagher, Kouyate and McArthur then we need some magic from Eze linking with Zaha to provide a result.

Still, knowing the manager he will find places for Schlupp and Ayew and we will lose.

Oh for a Christian Eriksen or even Barry Bannon ..
